Document Summary
God : revealed religion - god speaking to people. Rational religion - you can reason your way to god - part 9 of dialogues. Science in the 17th and 18th century: empirical approach. Religion is very similar to science - a lot in common. The things that are not perceivable (gravity, air, etc. ) In sciences, the objects are not perceivable but the perceivable is used to. In religion, if object is god, god cannot be perceived. Just as science uses what can be perceived, we use that to get a knowledge. Does not regard god as he creator of the world - world: all there is, not just earth. World - created or not created - not mentioned. Although we do not know if the world was created or not, we know it was designed. There must be a designer - we can talk about god as the designer, not. God as the designer helps us better understand god.
